“If you wanted to ban guns, not just assault rifles or ghost guns, bump stocks, all guns, you want to ban guns, you want to disarm the population, the first thing you would do is track the purchase of guns. Not surprisingly, that’s now happening,”
Fox News host Tucker Carlson and talk radio host Glenn Beck blasted credit card companies Thursday evening over a new merchant code for firearms purchases.
“If you wanted to ban guns, not just assault rifles or ghost guns, bump stocks, all guns, you want to ban guns, you want to disarm the population, the first thing you would do is track the purchase of guns. Not surprisingly, that’s now happening,” Carlson said. “So Visa, the largest payment processor in the world has announced it’s going to track your gun purchases. They’ve established a new merchandise category gun for gun and ammunition retailers. Not just guns, ammo, too. Mastercard and AmEx announced similar plans.”
The International Standards Organization (ISO) announced the new Merchant Category Code (MCC) Sept. 9, Reuters reported. Amalgamated Bank, a New York-based bank that supports “social justice” called for the new code alongside Congressional Democrats and officials in New York and California.
